I got tired of living the life that everybody told me I “should” be living, so one day I decided to start living life in my own ways. Frustrated（挫败）with my job, I came home, put on my shoes, and just started running. It felt so good to be free. That first day I ended up running 30 miles without stopping. Yes, I had rediscovered my old passion ( 酷爱的事物) — and it felt so good that I set a goal to support myself and my family from my running alone.
I trained hard every day. Since I wanted to be the best I could be, I knew I would have to set some clear goals for myself. A couple of my goals were: run a 135-mile ultra-marathon(超级马拉松) across Death Valley, win the Badwater Ultra-Marathon, and run a marathon to the South Pole.
I had no idea how I was going to achieve these goals, but they certainly encouraged me to work hard. Today, I am really grateful to say that I have achieved all of them. Shortly after completing these goals, I set another goal: to run fifty marathons, in fifty states, in fifty days. Nobody had done anything like this before. To be honest, I was not quite sure if I could. But there was only one way to find out…so I just started training and preparing to give it my best try.
I completed that goal one year ago, and it felt great! But for me, life is not all about achieving goals. Sure, it feels good to succeed, but the greatest reward for me was learning more about myself and what I was able to do.
Only by stepping out into the unknown and stretching(使倾注全力) ourselves can we really discover what our true potential(潜能) is。

(答案→)A 解析：本文主要讲述作者在生活中给自己树立了一个又一个的目标，然后朝着这些目标努力，发挥出自己的潜能。目的在于建议我们也给自己树立人生发展的目标。【小题1】A 推理题。根据文章第二段Since I wanted to be the best I could be, I knew I would have to set some clear goals for myself.可知在我的成功中，目标是很重要的一环，正是因为设立了目标，所以我们才会向着自己的目标努力，最后才会完成目标。故A正确。【小题2】.B 细节题。根据文章第三段倒数第2行To be honest, I was not quite sure if I could.可知我也不确定自己是否会成功，故B正确。【小题3】C 推理题。这里的that goal 是承接第三段中的树立的I set another goal: to run fifty marathons, in fifty states, in fifty days.这个目标，我在一年之前就已经完成了。故C正确。【小题4】D 推理题。根据文章最后一段Only by stepping out into the unknown and stretching(使倾注全力) ourselves can we really discover what our true potential(潜能) is。可知当我们全力以赴的时候，我们就能发挥出我们全部的潜能。故D项表述是正确的。

我明天再问问老师，叫他解释下这个问题
